Grammar V (Ever, Once)

The Reference: a.) if the word "ever" is the meaning of "pernah" tobe used in BA as present perfect tense or past perfect tense, BAA as past continuous tense, AA as past tense but if the word "ever" is used in present tense to carry along meaning "sewaktu-waktu".

b.) if the word "ever" is used in present future tense to carry along meaning "selamanya" is jointly with the word Question Word Question to carry along meaning "pun or saja".

c.) if the word "ever" is placed after the word "than" to carry along meaning "tak seperti biasanya" and if the word "once" is the meaning of "pernah" just tobe used in BA as positive sentence.

Example: 
BA: Have you ever lectured abroad?
BAA: were you ever lecturing abroad?
AA: did you ever lecture abroad?
